You're standing in front of the washroom mirror, trying to find where your abs are despite working out every single day. They're no where to be seen. Unfortunate, indeed! Well, have you ever thought about the food you take in, say, during your cheat days? Burgers with extra fries, a large-sized pizza, mac and cheese. As much as your dread eating them right now, it's these high-calorie food items that has pushed all your hard-work down the drain. And, it's exactly the reason why you should avoid it too.

Here are three food items you should say NO to if you're looking to get them abs out.

1. BISCUITS

You'll have to bid goodbye to your chai buddy. The reason why biscuits are bad for your body is because of its sugar content. And sugar will spike up your insulin, thereby, reducing your body's capacity to burn fat. To make things even worse, biscuits increase the level of bad cholesterol in your body. Well, you wouldn't want that, would you?

2. SOFT DRINKS

You are what you drink too. Soft drinks, in particular, have nothing in them apart from artificial sweeteners like aspartame and corn syrup. If you want to see effective results on your body after workouts, you will have to throw out those soft drinks that you stock in your refrigerator. If energy drinks are off the table, what are your other best options? Well, there's green tea, coconut water, sugarless lemon water and the list goes on.

3. WAFFERS

No. A big NO. Unless you want your waistline to look like a potato itself, it's not something that gym lads and fitness enthusiasts should indulge in. It might satiate your sweet cravings, but it ain't going to do good to your body, let alone quickly getting a chiseled six-pack ab.
